Verse 1:
Enchanted guests, they gather there
Drawn in from everywhere
Spirits of secrets kept, promises shared
To dance the homesick waltz
Verse 2:
Heavenly partners form their squares
And wait upon the call
To give his stately bow, her curtsey fair
To start the dazzling ball
Chorus:
Send them round once again
Allemande and begin
Forming a bridge of fingertips pressed
Upon the living again
Catch them as they fly
Seeds of mem'ries, times that have flowered and died
Changing partners, saving grace
Promenade home, dancing the homesick waltz
Verse 3:
Visions of a life gone by
They face her this way and that
He looks like a boy she lost
When she was young
And he only a lad
Verse 4:
She calls to him, "come to me son.”
But he would rather play, and play, just play
Just watching him run
She gives her breath away
[Chorus]
